Ugh, I slept horribly, nearly missed an interview I was supposed to do at 7:05 with a radio station (I'm in PR/Communications) and I'm going to be so late to work. Thank god the radio station called me and I was still able to do it! Late to work is pretty much par for the course these days.

Morning.
Last night dh and I spent 20 min trying to fix our damn brita filter on our kitchen sink. Took so long. Arguing over what parts were stripped. About a week ago it fell off while i was doing the dishes and since the water was still running the little rubber ring went right down the food disposal. Yeah not fishing that out. It has since fell down 2 more times with a ring that doesn't quite fit. Everytime it falls i tell him I'm ordering a new one. Then he manages to fix it so i say fuck it.
I'm still annoyed about yesterday. I want to talk more to my boss about it but don't want to wind up ugly crying about it in the office. Good news i don't think he's coming in the rest of the week because he's going out of town again. A few of us are going to lunch to bitch about him. All i can do is count the days down. Even though I'll probably have to go back I'm going to pack my shit before my leave. Just in case. You never know. If nothing else i figure I'm sending a message. I'm just having a hard time giving a fuck now.
Good morning ladies! I don't know if I checked in at all yesterday. Everything's fine, I was just busy. I'm going to volunteer in DD's class today. That should be interesting now that I've gotten so big and uncomfortable. The mom who organizes the volunteers wants me to help out every Wed this month. I told her that was fine (because I suck at saying no and I really do want to do this for DD), but I was making no promises when the end of the month got close. She tries to assign everyone a specific day (i.e. all Wed) for a month each semester. I tried to get her to assign me in Jan, but she didn't. I'm sure it'll be fine and we'll have fun. I really need to get her email address though so I don't have to text her MOTN if I go into labor and can't help out the next day. I wouldn't want to wait to inform her until a "decent" hour in case things are happening at that time. Eh, now I need to find something decent to wear..... Hmmmmmm
36 weeks today but I'm way too unmotivated to start a Wed Ticker Change...
chilibeansm0m Can you write an email to your boss instead? I find that sometimes when I am very charged or emotional about a specific topic and I sit down, write an email, wait an hour, edit the email, and send it to my boss I manage to say everything I want to say without the possibility of an ugly cry or saying something I'll regret. Even if you follow up in person it will ease the tension. Just be sure you are 100% on everything in the email before you click send, you don't want to shoot yourself in the foot by saying something untoward that can be used against you later.
As for those struggling with pants, I feel your pain. I didn't bother with pants today, all about the jersey dress.
AFM We're trying to put in 11 hours today to help make up for the "snow day" we took on Monday. I know it will help alleviate the amount of vacation time I have to take to cover what I missed but I've already been here almost 3 hours and I am already about to fall asleep at my desk.

I don't really have a random but I get today off! I wanted to go shopping but it started snowing again so I'll probably end up watching Netflix most of the day.
I have a feeling the "slept like shit" party isn't going to end until we all give birth. Then, we'll all being sleeping like shit because of our sweet, snuggly newborns. My hips and shoulders ached so bad last night that I felt like I was flipping from side to side every hour. Add to that, I got in a huge argument with my 12 year old last night and my sleep was even worse. Feeling like a parenting failure right now and I just don't know how to get through to her.
In other news, it's H's birthday, today, but he's working a 24 hour shift so I saw him for about 15 minutes this morning and won't see him again until about 8:30 tomorrow morning. I thought about heading up to his base tonight and bringing him dinner...we'll see how I feel this evening.
Going back to the beer conversation from last night (sorrynotsorry), my H pretty much drinks High Life. My cousin (a photographer) told him about a wedding he did where the toast was done with the Champagne of Beers instead of Champagne, so obviously we had to do that. I swear our wedding was nice!
I think I am going to need to stock up on good beers (since I do not share the love of High Life unless we are playing drinking games). I can't wait.
It's 3:00 PM, and I am completely over today. I don't want to be at work... I just want to go home and not wear pants.
I have reached the point where every day DH comes home and I'm already wearing my pjs. I strip my clothes off as soon as I get home from picking up DD from school. Yesterday she put her pjs on before dinner! Oops! Guess she's just doing what mommy does. Lol!
I didn't get to read through all the randoms yesterday since DS used nearly all of our data for this month so I've been trying to not use Internet too much. I also slept like crap and I'm currently trying to fall back asleep, not working too well though boo..
Its only 6:15am here and I've been awake since like 5:30! I can't get back to sleep cause I'm starving. I also can't get my lazy ass out of bed. I need to leave granola bars next to my bed like i did during the first trimester.

Happy Hump Day
We can talk about beer all day, every day ; )
I need to go shopping to stock up for after LO arrives!
My heated throw blanket has been my best friend lately. How have I gone my whole life never having one until recently? I had no idea what I was missing. Though it does make it really hard to get off my chair, which was already a difficult task as I feel like a beached whale lately.

Lol! Definitely something this LO is going to do eventually. DH is even bad about it!
36 weeks today but I'm way too unmotivated to start a Wed Ticker Change...
I'll get one started.
Today my H's office is throwing us a baby shower so I get to leave work a little early. I hope today goes by fast.
I received both of my completion coupons from BBB and BRU recently so I'm going to use them after our last shower that my MIL is throwing next weekend. The stroller is the biggest item we have left so the 10% off will definitely come in handy for that.

A heated blanket was the best gift I ever received. No lie. In the winter we put it under our fitted sheet and "preheat" the bed. It is so fantastic. Although I am sleeping in another room (but I am too hot for the blanket these days anyway). But I highly recommend the heated blanket!
I'm really relieved this morning... A few days ago, I had a conversation with my mom to try and plan when she and my dad would come out. She asked when the docs would induce, and I told her the 17th. Well -- she thought that was the 17th of February (I'd only be 38 weeks), but what I actually meant was 17th of March, which is 42 weeks. Once we cleared that up, she started telling me that I should ask the docs when the soonest they would induce is so that we would have a date that she could come. I hung up with the impression that she was saying that I should try to convince the docs to induce me before my EDD.... Which is something neither DH or I are comfortable with unless medically necessary. So I spent the last couple of days totally stressed about now having to confront my mom - who I basically agree with about everything, and is a nurse, and I trust implicitly - with the news that we totally disagree and think it's a little on the fucked up side to suggest something that might lead to an unnecessary c-section, lower apgar scores, medical intervention with LO, etc... Just for the sake of logistics and convenience.
So I gingerly brought it up last night that I had been doing some research about it and potential complications of elective inductions before 40 weeks, and she was basically appalled that I would suggest that. Yay! All is right with the world! My mom and I agree again! (Yeah - I'm that person...)
Also, good follow-up convo with DH about what I'll need from him during his parents' visit, and what recovery, etc. is like for me.
On the other hand.... I've been doing really well with keeping up on functional adult things (like laundry, dishes, keeping my kid out of the powdered sugar, etc) for the past few weeks.... But the past couple of weeks, everything has just gone to shit. It hasn't helped that there have been snow days and a sick toddler... But seriously, we've basically been watching veggie tales/curious George, and I've been in survival mode. Sorry, DH. :/
I slept OK last night I was up a little bit and looked at my phone around 415 then I was out again until my alarm. I struggled to wake up then. Still trying to wake up almost 4 hours later.
jrp Glad to hear you happily resolved that issue with your mom! That would be a tough one.
coozieinmypurse I'm in the same industry and was just thinking the other day that I'm bound to sleep through/completely forget about the countless interviews I have in the air right now. Mostly because I can't remember what I did 5 minutes ago. At times like these I almost wish I could take maternity leave a month early just because I'm sure I'm not contributing at the same level as before. Wouldn't want to waste precious ML time like that, but still.
We're going out of town this weekend - flying to Denver. I mentioned this months ago back on the Dump because I was researching travel in the 33rd week. My MW gave me the all clear but suggested I might try to skip the x-ray scanners - has anyone done that successfully while pregnant?
34 weeks today. I have an appointment at 1 with a Dr. I'm really uncomfortable with. He gives out weird pervy vibes and is just awkward. We should be scheduling an RCS date today so that's exciting and nerve wracking all at the same time.
I wanted to get a delivery gown, but now I'm not entirely sure how that works with a c-section, but I think it'd be cute for pictures anyway. I'm going to *try* to make it myself and save $80.
In non-baby news: We're going away for Valentine's Day weekend. There's a one-night free vacation type deal offered to military and we're making it a weekend so we don't have to drive 4 hours that morning. Booked the hotel and dog boarder last night so I think we're all set. They'll have activities for DS and everything is included. My H is pretty excited about free alcohol all day. I am not haha.
Hope everyone has a great day! Good luck with all appointments and all that good stuff.
I just went back and read the randoms from yesterday to catch up on the beer talk. I LOVE beer. I've tried a few craft beers here and there and love a local beer made by Jailhouse Brewery. H said he'd take me on a tour of the brewery after the baby and I can't wait! AleWife any recommendations for good local craft beer in Georgia? I don't like anything too hoppy or bitter and, of the mass produced, I love leinenkugel's summer shandy.
Got a new bed last night... So comfortable but of course it didn't stop the crazy pregnancy dreams... So annoying! Everyday it gets harder to do anything especially coming to work and like all of you I am sure, there is so much to do!!!
LollyTee maybe you could get a note from your MW to bring with you to the airport.
I've been frustrated lately trying to move into our house, weather has been seriously complicating it with all this snow. We just got a letter from the insurance company that our homeowners insurance will be canceled due to the property not being occupied. Which I've been trying to explain to my fiancée that we need to get our ass into gear. Finally yesterday he said we would move our stuff in today, but now he can't find anyone to help him, so it's looking like it's not going to get done again. And we're supposed to get more snow tomorrow, fuck this winter already!
